Back at the Badger Set

 In 2021 we finally found the badger set. In 2022 we put the camera trap out there. Now, just at the end of 2023, I've put it out again. It's also surprisingly the first time I have ever put the camera trap out in December too (I'm hoping to put it out again and keep it out over Christmas day). It's extremely wet and windy here (it was a struggle getting the camera back) so some of the photos are blurred out by raindrops.

Anyway, lets get into it.

Saturday to Monday

We put the camera out on Saturday. However, it wasn't until Monday when we got something. It was just a miller-second glimpse of one's face before it went out on it's night scavenge. It wasn't really worth showing you. But the next clip is. It is a behaviour we have never recorded before. It is when a badger brings fresh bedding into the burrow.

                                                                                                                                                                           I almost forgot - earlier that day, we also got a great tit.

Tuesday                                                                                                                                                            

 The same night as earlier on, we also got another badger. This one came right up to the camera.

In the day, we also got a squirrel. The centre of the screen is a bit blurry due to rain. So focus on the side of the screen and you will see it. 

Wednesday

Wednesday morning at 3'oclock we got another, rather shy, badger.

However, just a few minutes we got a much more confident one coming up to sniff the camera.

Thursday 

This morning, we also got quite a bit.

At 7 o'clock this morning the badger came home and is probably still there now (at the time of writing this). 

That's all for today's post. Stay tuned for more posts coming very soon! Remember to leave a comment and thanks for reading!
